Exploding God

Lu Ze's gaze swept indifferently over the other party's scarred mechanical dagger, then casually glanced at his side.

The thugs who had been avoiding them looked at them with a mixture of evasive and irrepressible curiosity.

Lu Ze took a sip of his milk tea, looked away, and stepped to the right.

A sigh of disappointment seemed to escape from those around them; the outcome they had hoped for had not materialized.

However, at that moment, Kim Jae-ho took a step in the same direction.

A hot wind swept across the ground, ruffling Kim Jae-ho's long hair. The shadow cast by his tall figure loomed over the high school student in front of him, and he stared at that smug-looking face with a playful gaze.

Glug~~

This wasn't the sound of Lu Ze drinking milk tea, but rather the sound of the Lin family's deputy bodyguard captain—no, the bodyguard captain—swallowing.

Ten meters away, he looked at Kim Jae-ho's profile with a complicated expression.

His eyes were filled with...

Sympathy, pity, and heartfelt admiration.

Lu Ze released the straw and his gaze finally settled on Kim Jae-ho.

His unruly, shoulder-length hair, like that of a rock warrior, exudes arrogance and swagger, while his single-eyelid, round face and small, squinty eyes seem to proclaim the most noble bloodline in the universe.

"I'm in a great mood today," Lu Ze said with a smile.

What?

The people around were stunned. Why did he suddenly blurt out such a thing?

Kim Jae-ho was also taken aback for a moment, then asked in a stiff tone, "And then?"

The Lin family's bodyguard captain and his companion exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with equally complex and unfathomable emotions. Then, they looked at Kim Jae-ho with the same gaze one would give an idol.

"So... could you please move aside a little bit?" Lu Ze held the milk tea in his left hand and gestured slightly to the side.

As for his other hand, it remained in his pocket.

This casual, conversational manner, coupled with that sentence spoken in a low voice but clearly enough to carry throughout the surrounding area.

Those who looked on curiously felt their hearts nearly leap out of their throats.

Meanwhile, some boys and girls who had just walked out of the school gates looked at this place in surprise.

They suddenly realized that the boy's sunny disposition, his hand in his pocket, and the words he had just uttered... made him look ridiculously handsome!

"Who is he?"

"Wow, so arrogant! Which school are they from? It's definitely not our No. 3 Middle School."

"But to be honest... he's so handsome, I'm totally swooning."

The boys watched the girls chattering away with envy in their eyes. Although they were resentful, they couldn't come up with anything more assertive to attract the attention of the opposite sex in this situation.

"You're the first person in recent years to dare talk to me like that," Kim Jae-ho said with a sinister grin, the mechanical dagger he tossed into the air landing in his palm.

"You little brat, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, today I'm here to discipline you on behalf of your parents!"

The next second, amidst the gasps of surprise from those around him, Kim Jae-ho's right forearm lashed out like a whip.

The back of the blade, reeking of blood, left a trail of white light in the air.

No one doubts that if someone were suddenly slapped in the face, they would be crippled on the spot.

"Tiger Sharks know how to get things done; idlers, get out of the way!"

The man in the trench coat gave a cold shout, twisted the throttle, and the heavy motorcycle roared to life. He turned to look at the crowd of onlookers, his eyes filled with unbridled arrogance.

The shout rang out simultaneously, and the gasps that had just risen around fell silent instantly.

The man in the trench coat was very satisfied with the effect of his words, but when he turned around completely, he was stunned.

The mechanical dagger that Kim Jae-ho threw hovered less than 10 centimeters in front of Lu Ze's cheek.

Before anyone knew it, Lu Ze had pulled his right hand out of his pocket... He extended only three fingers and gently pinched the cold back of the knife.

No matter how hard Kim Jae-ho gritted his teeth and exerted himself, the dagger remained as if it were welded in place, not moving an inch.

At that moment, he seemed to see a colossal beast of mist standing menacingly before him, instantly suffocating him to the point of losing control of his body.

Lu Ze calmly finished his milk tea amidst the dozens of shocked and stunned gazes around him. Then, to Jin Zaihao's incredulous gaze, he slowly pulled the dagger from the other's hand and casually tossed it aside.

Ding--

Amidst the sparks flying, ten meters away on the aluminum trash can wall, only the hilt of the mechanical dagger trembled slightly.

Then Lu Ze gently handed the empty milk tea cup to Jin Zaihao's palm, and put his right hand, which had just thrown away the dagger, back into his pocket.

Kim Jae-ho's weak hands... instinctively grasped the milk tea, and his pupils regained some clarity.

Wait, what am I doing?

"Could you please throw this away for me? I remember it's dry waste."

Kim Jae-ho jolted awake, finally snapping out of his shock. The moment he heard those words, his eyes turned bloodshot. How could they insult him like that!

With a crunch, the milk tea cup was instantly crushed by his hand.

"court death--"

Enraged, Kim Jae-ho gripped his left hand, which had snatched the necklace, and slammed it down with a powerful gust of wind.

Outside the school gate, amidst hundreds of gazes, Lu Ze did only one thing.

Kneeling, leaping into the air, spinning, the right leg moved with the graceful beauty of flowing water, yet also with the speed and sharpness of lightning, like a heavy whip.

Visible facial deformities...

boom!

Before Kim Jae-ho could even groan, he was sent flying sideways like a cannonball.

The thin aluminum walls of the bin couldn't hide Kim Jae-ho's long, flowing hair. The once arrogant guy crashed through the bin... struggling to get out, but failed several times. He whimpered, trying to say something, but his words were all muffled by the garbage inside.

The Lin family's bodyguard captain's eyes were filled with sympathy and pity, clearly recalling some unpleasant scene.

Lu Ze landed, lightly dusted off his pants with his left hand, and smiled as he looked at An Guang, who had suddenly risen into the air.

His left hand spun with its five fingers together, breaking through the air and creating a chaotic white wave that struck the opponent's lower abdomen with several times the speed of An Guang's chop.

—Flowing Water Unloading Wind Fist!

Time seemed to slow down at that moment. His clothes were visibly sunken deep into his abdomen. An Guang's eyes widened in pain, his tongue trembled and popped out of his mouth, and his hands, which were raised above his head, could no longer hold the baseball bat.

The bat slipped from his hand... and An Guang flew backward.

He spread his loosely clenched fingers, flipped his palm, and placed the baseball bat in his palm, parrying it with a backhand motion.

With a clang, the steel pipe that the man in the trench coat on the other side swung was instantly blocked.

"Dare to mess with a tiger..." The man in the trench coat had a fierce look in his eyes and opened his mouth to announce his family.

Lu Ze's gaze met the other person's, and his left hand suddenly released itself, taking the opportunity to grab the back of the man's neck, which was exposed when he leaned forward unexpectedly, and pulled it down hard.

With a bang.

The man in the trench coat's face made full contact with the ground, and the pain nearly made him faint. His body felt like it was falling apart, and he had no strength to stand up at all.

I have no interest in hearing things that are not respectable.

Lu Ze let go and stood up, glancing to his left.

The people on the left instinctively stepped back three meters.

Lu Ze glanced to his right.

The crowd on the right had almost retreated to the corner, which just happened to stop the two Lin family bodyguards who were trying to sneak in.

Compared to the shock of ordinary people, the thugs who frequented the Tingluo district were almost dumbfounded.

This is insane...

Beating up the Tiger Shark Gang members is one thing!

And they even openly mocked it as something that wasn't presentable?

In the Shangnan underground black market, the Tiger Shark Society is the only one of the three major organizations that dares to put the corpse of the Mist Beast on the auction stage!

The official members here are all guys who dare to steal food from the Combat Association in the wilderness!

This is suicidal.

However, Lu Ze, the one who started all of this, simply stepped over the man in the trench coat's head and stood directly in front of the school gate.

At the entrance of the huge Tingluo No. 3 Middle School, a strange scene had formed: people crowded on both sides of the school gate, while only one boy stood calmly on the road in the middle.

The middle school girls who were covering their mouths and dared not speak all had their burning gazes fixed on that figure in an instant.

"He...is so handsome!!"

Finally, one of the girls couldn't help but cheer excitedly.

The brief peace was eventually broken.

……

Lin Zhidao, who was helping Lu Ming out of the school gate like he was helping his own father, happened to look up at this moment. He first saw two bodyguards waving their hands frantically not far away, then his gaze swept over the two unlucky guys crawling on the ground, and finally landed on the absolute center position.

Like the sole protagonist under the spotlight of a stage theater, a handsome face smiling five meters away clearly came into view.

Shiny and dazzling.

Lin Zhidao shuddered...

He revealed a smile that was more like a grimace, mixed with the servility and fawning of a mouse before a cat.

Lu Ming opened his mouth in surprise, about to speak, but before he could finish, a long, drawn-out cry of blood emanated from beside him—

"Big brother—!"

Lin Zhidao, as enthusiastic as a wild dog, reached out his hands and ran towards Lu Ze.

Behind him, Lu Ming's gaze was stiff and unfocused.

P.S.: I stayed in Liuzhou, Guangxi for 10 days. First, I got diarrhea from the change in water and soil, then I got blisters from mosquito bites, and yesterday I caught a cold and had a fever. I was thinking that if I stayed any longer, I might die. Thankfully, I'm back in Jinan today. I got home at 4 pm, took my medicine, and slept until now. This is the second update~~ Sorry, sorry~
